50 Best Bars in Atlanta

“Great food, good drinks, ACF $15, lots of fun! Definitely try it!“

“Had lunch here today for the first time. The Valet was awesome, the atmosphere was friendly and laid back. We had Juan as our server and he was spectacular! The array of oysters we tried were fresh and tasty. We’ll be back!“

“Seriously the best hot dog I’ve ever had. I dream about it. Fig jam, pimento cheese and sautéed onions, and the bun is so soft and yummy oh god I’m drooling now“

“Stopped in for a quick afternoon beer and had a great time. Emma at the bar was amazing — super welcoming and let us try a few drafts before we decided. Their beer selection is strong, with plenty of interesting options to choose from. The outdoor patio is perfect too, really open, sunny, and just a comfortable place to kick back and enjoy a drink. The whole vibe is relaxed but fun, and it’s one of those spots that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Drinks were cold, service was friendly, and the energy was just right. Definitely a go-to if you’re in the area and looking for a good beer and a chill patio experience.“

“High end extremely nice restaurant. You pay for what you get!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Vibe, Always a Good Time My wife and I have been to Fellaship several times, and it never disappoints. The vibe is grown, professional, and perfect for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a good cigar. Whether it’s a date night or just kicking back with the guys, this spot always hits the mark. Great atmosphere, great service—highly recommend!“

“Loved it and food was great“

“Love the patio for coffee in the morning, drinks in the evening are very nice.“

“Great Brunch and friendly staff. Shay was awesome!!!“

“We visited The Red Phone Booth on 6/15 while in town for my cousin’s graduation. What no one knew was that I had just placed my mom on hospice and we had lost a cousin the same day—her sister and my mom’s baby sister were with us. Even in the middle of all that pain, we were shown such kindness. Sophia was amazing, and I even played pool with a member who didn’t know I could barely hold a cue. We didn’t look like what we were going through—but that night gave us joy we truly needed. Thank you for a beautiful experience. We’ll be back. ❤️“

“This little restaurant is divine the food is so good here the staff are so nice xx its right next to senator banus hotel and spa 5☆“

“The local has by far the best wings in all of Atlanta. Dare I say some of the best wings I’ve EVER HAD. The atmosphere is a dive bar, nothing special. The hype is really in the food and they run out of wings all of the time because they are just THAT GOOD. I eat here on a regular and am never ever disappointed. It’s so good that I had to come and give them a review. I dont know what that cook is doing in the back, but keep it up. Yall have a loyal costumer over here!“

“The sachetti (little purses) are to die for. The Marsala crème sauce is delicious“

“From Ohio- It is the perfect kinda dive bar with class. Servers were lovely and drinks were perfect ! Will come back!“

“It’s small but intimate, almost like a speakeasy. The drinks are incredible and the bartenders know their stuff!“

“We visited Bad Axe Throwing for the US Open and spent a lot of our down time at The Whelan! Staff was friendly, food, drinks and drink selections were amazing! Alec the bartender makes the best Buffalo Trace Manhattans, props bro! The pool table area has great ambiance. If we're ever over that way again, we'll definitely go back! Keep it up!“

“Awesome place to drink and play games. They also have a great trivia night on Sundays and a Smash Brothers Tournament!“

“I stop in here for lunch once a week. The staff remembers me, the food is great and it comes out quick. I like the grilled chicken sandwich.

They have several TVs so I am able catch up on news and sports while I am there.

Also ample free parking.“

“I would highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, the staff is amazing and the environment is amazing! This place is absolutely perfect for company events, date night or just to hangout. I will definitely be back!“

“We had a reservation but unfortunately my Fiance had to get a last minute biopsy and was told not to drink any alcohol for 24 to 48 hrs. We went to Tiger Sun anyways expecting to just have to go to the reservation (since theres a charge for canceling) and when we explained the situation they were SO NICE. As the cocktails are really part of the experience they did not hesitate for one second to move our reservation and not charge us the fee!! We really expected for my Fiance to either have mocktails or just forego the cocktails in general and were sad about this since cocktails are our thing.. but now we don't even have to worry about that because they were so accommodating! We cannot wait to come back and get the full experience because I am totally sold on the dedication to the customer!“

“Huge fan! Great place to hang with friends and meet new people!“

“Just moved here and this is my new favorite spot! Been here twice so far and each time food was incredible and service friendly and attentive! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food and good service as well as dining outside atmosphere!“

“This is a great place. I wonder how I missed it since the last 3 years. Great drinks and a great atmosphere. They allow outside food and our dogs also. Great vibe yet very peaceful. There is a lot of variety of alcoholic drinks, they are very fresh. Unfortunately for me only one non-alcoholic drink is available - root beer. But I loved this drink. A lot of games are available. Lovely dogs to play with. The owner lady is very lovely and friendly. I recommend this place 100%“

“BUSTING! This spot was bussin. No long lines, enough room to breath, dance, and order a cocktail. Friendly bartenders! Everyone was vibing, straight men, women and the lgb too, all vibing and respectful! I had a blast. I'm the, dance until they close type and I definitely GOT MY LIFE! The Dj July 5th weekend did his Thang! Surprised it was a white boy! A must !“

“While in Atlanta visiting family, we took a walk on the around the Battery. Who can pass up Fat Tuesdays? Not us! We had to grab a drink to walk around with........... in the middle of June.

Not sure if it was the employee or someone else close by, but while ordering the drinks the entire bar smelled of marijuana! It was all consuming and VERY potent!

We ordered 3 drinks and quickly left the area! We had two children with us that shouldn't have ever been exposed to marijuana, one just a few weeks old!

Terrance D. the employee running the bar at the time was extremely helpful and very polite. I took his recommendations and got the 190 octane! My group also got the cat 5 hurricane & fruit punch. All of them were VERY good!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER PASS UP A FAT TUESDAY!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Nia. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and positive energy truly elevated our evening. The food was fresh and flavorful and not greasy. Between the outstanding service and the amazing food, this was an experience we will definitely remember.“

“just plain GOOD. contrary to my last visit, my server was very nonchalant anddr this time around.. but the food was still delicious and promptly served🖤“

“Love this place on Fridays in particular. This is a good spot to mingle with Black gays (of course other types are here too) outside of Mixx (too pricey to get in). This place is free usually, the customers are friendly and music is popping on Thursdays just ok on Saturday unless you keep telling the dj what to play (the dj on Friday knows what to play). Great place to mingle and party. Drinks could be a little stiffer (I dont drink regularly)“

“Annie the bartender was so gladly to help me the drink that she offered was great. The atmosphere is fine they are very friendly when I first walked in. I thought that they was gonna be like judging because the color of my skin and the atmosphere, but that was not it. A older gentleman sitting next to me asked me could he sit and I said yes, we had a great conversation. We was talking about the game and how he started off being a Being a maintenance man And he say I’m gonna love it there so I think this might be my new home“

“The best bar to ever exist in the history of ever. I’ve made more friends and memories in this place than anywhere else. There’s nothing NOT to love about this Atlanta institution, and it will always be the stage I feel most at home on. Long live The Star Bar!!!!“

“Great ace to find Geogia Grown local products, and Grocery. Best“

“The Earl is a classic venue for watching live music. It is small and intimate and has great sound. I have been to several shows there in the past year and the sound has always been amazing. It feels like a club from the 80s but it is not dingy at all.“

“Best food in the city hands down. It’s a hidden gem and if you’re a foodie like me you’ll love it. Everything from the wings, splits, chili dogs, tacos on Tuesday and the soul food on Sunday is amazing. There has not been one thing that has come out that kitchen I didn’t love ❤️ ❤️ 😋 on Friday nights from 12am til 4am they do midnight brunch and the fish and shrimp and grits will be the best you’ve ever had. Bee Glad Lounge is definitely a 10 out of 10. The vibes are so chill, the music is always on point, there’s a pool table, axe throwing, slot machines in the game room if that’s your thing. They even do .50 wing Wednesday like they will have you big backing everyday lol You have to try it.“

“It’s been a while since I have been to Black Bear Tavern. To my surprise, EVERYTHING is still amazing. Black Bear still provides a casual very laid-back type of environment. This was perfect as my friends and I had a long week and just wanted to partake in great laughs with great food… Upon walking in, the bartender welcomed us and advised us to sit where we would like. All of the empty tables were clean which made me very happy. LoL! Once seated, our waitress came over and greeted each of us with a warm smile and a pleasant welcome. With a traditional American Bar menu setup, we didn’t require too much time to figure out what we wanted. I decided on the Southwestern Egg Rolls as my App and the Swiss and Bacon Burger as my Main! Hear Me When I Say…. Wowsersssssssssssssss!! The Southwestern Egg Rolls are packed with meat and veggies. These are not the kind of egg rolls you find in your grocer's freezer. Along with being a great portion, they were fried to golden perfection. Being set at the perfect temperature makes for a super enjoyable experience. Warm and perfectly cooked insides surrounded by Golden Fried Goodness put me in a place of tastebud-pleasing bliss. I want some more just thinking about them. LoL! The Bacon and Swiss is HUGEEEEEEEEEE… Just like I needed it to be. There is nothing like a Moist, Meaty, Well Done Burger on a Friday. Furthermore, the fresh lettuce, tomato, and pickles allow for a perfect first bite. I decided to pair my burger with Tater Tots (well done) and they literally melted in my mouth. I’m talking golden fried potatoes, lightly salted, still hot as I dipped them in the room temperature ketchup! This is how you Friday Night in the Atl. LoL! Overall, I left full, pleased with the service, and to top it all off… I had food for the next day. Oh yes… I had leftovers!!! LoL!!!“

“Excellent food and gathering place“

“I completely enjoyed our stay at the Kimpton. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The hotel is nicely appointed and very comfortable. It’s a great location to lots of shopping and restaurants. When we go back to ATL, we will definitely stay here again“

“$13 for this meal is pretty darn good. The older Black man has superb service you can tell he has mastered the craft. I definitely wanna bring friends with me one day :)
FYI - they charge $1 for ranch or extra sauces, i didn’t know until AFTER the bill lol.“

“Food was amazing!!!! Service was great!“

“Great tunes and great venue.“

“Great rooftop bar! Had a great time.“
